INDIANAPOLIS, June 3, 2014 – Steak ‘n Shake is inviting America to a birthday party for the record books at 1 p.m. EDT/12 p.m. CDT, Saturday, June 7, when it will celebrate its 80th birthday by attempting the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title for the “Largest Birthday Sing-Along.” Steak ‘n Shake expects more than 20,000 customers to sing “Happy Birthday” simultaneously across its 529 U.S. locations.
